I realized I had posted this somewhere else, but not here, so here you go.
*WARNING* Well, I'm not good at poetry, so just be aware of that. Also, I wrote this when I was super frustrated and feeling kinda depressed, so be aware of that as well. *END WARNING*
Do You Know What It’s Like
An attempt at poetry
Do you know what it’s like
To sit alone at lunch every day for three years
Do you know what it’s like
To be lonely, even in a crowd
Do you know what it’s like
To pray every day for a single friend
who won’t leave you like the rest have
Do you know what it’s like
To not be able to remember
the last time you received a genuine compliment
from one of your family members
Do you know what it’s like
To wish you were invisible
because that would be better than the apathy
Do you know what it’s like
To spend so long being down
that you don’t remember what it’s like to be up
Do you know what it’s like
To wonder if anyone would notice if you left
Do you know what it’s like
To be shamed for doing the things you love
Do you know what it’s like
To smile as your world comes crashing down
Do you know what it’s like
To fail at the one thing
you were told you were good at
Do you know what it’s like
To be expected to spread hope
even as the world only gives you hate
Do you know what it’s like
To wish you could say you were okay
without it being a lie
Do you know what it’s like
To be talked about behind your back
Do you know what it’s like
To wonder if anyone cares
Do you know what it’s like
To have everything you do never be good enough
because you are the one who did it.
Do you know what it’s like
To be me?
